Are we going to start penalizing people for having a good vocabulary?

Like I said YES it is a word but in the common sense category he gets a zero! The reality of it is that ANY word of that nature is a sensitive issue with most black people. It is not a matter of "who knows more education" it's a matter of when you choose to use a word SO close to a offensive word, be prepared for the backlash.
